i have heard/seen that leather shops can treat leather straps so that they won't patina and will remain the same lightness as when purchased. i am not sure what the technique is called, but many of my friends are having it done at leather shops on their brand new LV items. i guess i'll have to wait and see how their bags eventually look, but there is (apparently) a way to stop patina on the original LV leather strap. i like a dark patina, personally.

Oooh, sound interesting. I did see this woman on IG place her bag under running water and the vachetta totally did not get any water stains! But personally I prefer patina, not too dark, but a nice even honey looks so good on monogram.

Why would you buy it if you had one already? :confused1: I would have just told the SA you wanted DE and left it for someone else, as it would probably sell quickly. Your current eva looks nice. I would return the new one. You will take a loss on your old eva, thus making this new eva even more expensive.

No offense, but it really doesn't make much sense to me. I know we are enablers, but your current bag is not damaged, so you don't "need" a new one.

Oh, loving the Eva clutch in DE... I used to own one... and sold it last month as I wasnt careful when I used it... it ended with colour transfer on the back...
I bought a Favorite PM in DA a few days ago as I love crossbody bags...

How old is your current eva? The patina is even and not dark at all. I'm sure you realize the new one will eventually look just like your current one--unless you keep it in a box and never use it. But it appears you want a new bag and it's your money and your choice so enjoy!

My current Eva is from 2014! I'm crazy i know:doh: I think I will sell my current one and the new one I will sent to lovinmybags, so they can treat it.

I'm the odd here :D i would return the New since it will patina sooner or later and use the entire eva funds to get something else instead of losing money. but it's just me :)

That is what I would do as well as the bag would patina over time. I like to use my Eva for travelling and it gets thrown around so I'd rather do that to an older bag lol. But yea, I would return it and get something else, just my opinion. Let us know what you decide!

Hi, I sent the new one to lovin my bags so they can treat the vachetta parts, I hate when vachetta gets darker. I already have a few people that are interested in buying my old Eva.

This may sound silly as I have never treated my leather bags before, but when you treat it does it mean it stays the same light colour forever?

It still will patina but not as quickly, time will tell how dark it gets. I have a Tivoli that I treated two years and it still looks pretty good if not new. Since then I have treated all my vachetta handbags.

Since it's water proof, water spot won't stain.

Wow looks new! I'm going to look into treating my vachetta, although mine has already darkened. I would hate my bag with water spot stains, I either avoid using it in the rain or put the bag in a plastic bag if it starts to rain lol. But thanks for the info!

Almost forgot to mentioned that I used apple brand rain guard too.

It's worth a try, you can check out YouTube videos on how to use LMB products and apple brand rain guard
